Sorry, not impressed. Some of the effects (like the truck magically being lifted into the sign) look silly. I'm sure the public will eat it up just like Twister. Looks a lot like the original Twister, with many of the same elements. I also don't think the people of Oklahoma are stupid enough to let a massive twister creep up on them at a rodeo, although maybe Hollywood is signaling. I was never a big fan of the original Twister either, but most disaster movies are just that, a disaster... except for Godzilla.

Yet most of us will see in the first few days it is out. While the new trailer does have some things that make me cringe, what appears to be the plot (opposites attract) does seem interesting. I'll say the same thing I said about Supercell - if you go in telling yourself not to critique the move technically you might actually enjoy the movie.
I will definitely go in critiquing the movie. But yeah, I’m planning on seeing it with my dad on the premiere day. Just because a movie like this isn’t realistic doesn’t mean it isn’t enjoyable.
Also, did anyone else notice the El Reno water tower?

It's going to be popular with the masses I'm sure. But, I feel like chasing is already pretty mainstream and has been for a decade or more. I doubt there are many would-be chasers left who haven't already encountered something that inspired them to start.

It would be great if it were a more realistic portrayal of chasing, but then again that would mean mostly showing people in hotel rooms looking at laptops, driving, and sitting in a truck stop looking at phones, tablets, and occasionally the sky.
Whether or not chasing is already mainstream, being able to immerse yourself in a movie based on something we love so much, and being able to share the experience with family or friends that don’t actually chase, is pretty cool. I won’t hesitate to tell them real chasing isn’t quite as exciting, but I will try to avoid explaining where the meteorology is inaccurate.

I think this needs to be seen at IMAX...no less.
The international trailer offers a few additional scenes:

Can’t wait for this to be released. Usually wait for movies to be on directv but this one I’ll go to a theater to see as soon as it’s out.
Looking forward to when this comes out. I was a little late to see the original (I didn't see it for the first time until I was about 19 or 20), but kinda like with Top Gun: Maverick, I'm hoping it's worth the wait.

Reviews of Twisters have starting coming out, and I have to say, its quite encouraging to see so many gushing reviews about how much fun this movie is. The acting, CGI, story, it checks all the boxes in the majority of reviews. So happy this isn't going to be a flop like an "into the Storm".

All set to take the whole family to an IMAX theater next Sunday afternoon! (Scheduling conflicts before then, and have to miss advanced screening organized by a local TV meteorologist, but that seems fitting, given all the storms I have missed over the years because I couldn’t be there!)
